Questions From A New Player

[BountyHunter]

Cross-faction RP is perfectly fine here, it happens quite a bit. A Gnome and Blood Elf can work together as long as they don't dislike one another which Sebastien is good at avoiding, at times.

It would likely take some serious convincin' to get one of my characters, ESPECIALLY an Engineer, to work with the other side. Trade secrets and all.

You'll need to be a grunt in order to make a Death Knight, though. Since there's the level 55 restriction and all.

Seems like you got approved! Congratulations!

Hi there.
My first post here.
At the beggining I want to warn you, that I am not from England neither America (default language: bad English).
I would like to start playing at CotH server. It seems to be good fun with Roleplaying and such. But as i mentioned, I do not speak(write) well in English.
And I have few queries about dying stuff.
So I have few questions:
1) Can I play on CotH with such poor language knowledge (poor RP included)?
2) If yes, then can I speak with my native language to my friends?
3) Can someone explain me dying rules? I have read rules at forum and server web site... and they are mildly different.
So how many times can i die from mob/npc(guard?), and how many tmes from player (i do not seek rampage, just it is good to know)?
Along with dying there is ressurection stuff.
4) How many times can a character be ressurected by another player/game features?
5) When I get perma-dead?
6) Can I ress my friend few seconds/minutes after he died insted of make him wait the whole week?
Thanks in advance....

I'll do my best!

1) Your english doesn't seem so bad to me. If you write like that, you should be fine.

2) In RP? errrrr. depends if other people are close. If there's any chacne that somebody else is in earshot, I'd stick to english. In whispers and stuff, I don't see why not.

3)You can't get killed by a mob or NPC unless it's in RP. If you just happened to be killed by a mob when walking to an RP site or whatever, that doesn't actually count as a character death. A character can be killed an unlimited amount of times, however every time he gets killed, he'll get harder and harder to resurrect and get more and more drawbacks. Sooner or later, one thinks it's better to just not rezz him at all.

4) See answer to question 3.

5)Perma-death is rare. Either you decide yourself that "my character is dead now." Or he died by something like. . . Being eaten by a dragon. With other words, when it'd be hard or impossible to rezz the character.

6) No. You have to wait the full week. From my understanding it wasn't always like this and people were rezzing chars to the left and right and deaths seemed to barely hold any significance.

Hope I helped!

Thanks a lot.
But here i have some new issues:
7) As I understand there are RP zones determined by GMs where dying is "more painful". Outside those areas(what about dungeon party raid?) I can die by monster's fangs as many times as I wish and I have no drawbacks neither have to wait 7 days to ress?
And inside RP zones(and player encounter) when I die I have to wait one week before I can play again this character and I get drawbacks(could someone explain these drawbacks and give some examples, please?)?
9) Is it possible to chat between Aliance and Horde? And can they establish friendly relations?

[Skaar]

7) I don't understand your question fully, I'm sorry. But a character only actually dies if it's in a roleplay. An OOC (Out Of Character) raid/dungeon death would not influence the character at all.

8 ) If you die during a roleplay you will have to wait a week and have someone to ressurrect you and you will indeed get drawbacks. Drawbacks are something like:
- Temporary blindess, pain, loss of power and others.
- Permanent scars and so on.

9) Inter-faction roleplay is possible and allowed, yes. You can speak freely between factions, as all races speak Common. The language barrier in retail just serves as something to diminish conflict between the different faction players. In Warcraft III Orcs and Humans talked to each other, in Common.
Alliance and Horde characters can be friends and I've seen inter-faction mates as well (guilty!).

[BountyHunter]

I can answer 7) for you. . .

Dying is much more painful when you are trying to do something incredibly stupid like take on a Dragon where you would die or try to sneak in to an opposing capital city where you too would die. If these were the cases, you'd have a hard job coming from the dead.

Otherwise, dying is dying, it is only more 'painful' when you're more dead (Like, your body is grinded up into mince meat, it would suck to be revived from that).

7) I don't understand your question fully, I'm sorry. But a character only actually dies if it's in a roleplay. An OOC (Out Of Character) raid/dungeon death would not influence the character at all.

That is exactly what I wanted to know. Now I finally understand what's going on with this OOC . Thanks a lot.
And stuff with open interacting between factions is really great.
Now I only have to make up character and repair my PC.

I am looking forward to meet You in game....

Only "I" is capitalized mid-sentence, by the way, no need to do so for the "you". :3

Welcome to the server, both of you.
